tell BingoBoingo article on core fork says "has not yet publically made any public statements" -- seeme redundant
davout: phf: log doesn't appear
to sync properly
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have nfi who designed an anti-nuke system
that depends on parking lots ffs. or, for
that matter, who
the fuck believes
this/
mircea_popescu: or, as
the case is here, land based locators. really, you're gonna use something on land ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in other news, ro politruk class snubbed
the us inauguration of some radars or w/e on romanian soil, part of rocket shield lulzfest.
gribble: What do you
think I am, a shell?
mircea_popescu: of course as far as
the crap on
tv went, "la cererea publicului [tele]spectator"
BingoBoingo still rolfing at pool
that gets ruined if it is pissed in one
too many
times
mircea_popescu: no man has a famblee unless a) he's an idiot or b)
the woman's +ev.
mircea_popescu: you
think
the young are at an advantage on oregon
trail vs say boston ?!
mircea_popescu: so currently i'm suspecting it's more of an environment issue
than an old man issue
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends. i am not convinced by
this
theory because i've seen
the % vary very wildly across culutres.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:41 mircea_popescu: mental health, i mean.
the problem of "coffin liners"
that asciilifeform discussed in
the log is
the direct counter
to
this. if
they don't catch
their death of cold,
they lose
track of
themselves.
this is not good.
BingoBoingo: More
too
the point can't swim in
the real ponds because couldn't avoid ruining
them. Can't smart enough for civilized chemical fest pool. Y Not fake pond?
mircea_popescu: so whether
they are or are not distinct,
there's no requirement
the distinction can be stated.
mircea_popescu: (there isn't a general rule
that all edges of
the implication ball are part of
this world. much like
there's no guarantee
that all
the numbers coming out of a defined arithmetic operation are in
the set of numbers you can display)
mircea_popescu: there's no way
to even show
that
the possibility of such meaning exists.
mircea_popescu: now, WHY
the
three people
that actually matter may no longer do
their magic... whatever. maybe
their
toy breaks. maybe evil alien xenomorph mp comes and breaks
their moore law and
they're up shit creek without it. maybe
they just start hating
the morlochs.
mircea_popescu: overall,
the
tribe of monkeys still makes ~ what it always made
mircea_popescu: so
today
things are just a lot more fragile and
that's all.
mircea_popescu: fact is
that where you needed 10% of
the population before you need 0.1% now. and, economy being what it is and human nature being what it is,
this "saving" did not get passed on. it just went into lazy, inefficient and wasteful.
mircea_popescu: no particular construction was built on
top of it. could be
this, could be
that.
mircea_popescu: for which reason
there can not exist "america" of
the previous millennium. not no more. nor "western europe" nor any of
the rest of
the stuff.
mircea_popescu: happened sometime in
the 90s, also. after a brief euphoria post
the berlin wall moment, people went "well what now ?". just like in
that joke with
the gypsy woman, "do we wash it or do we make another ?"
mircea_popescu: happens all
the
time ; but in order
to live in a certain shared psychosis,
the key is
to "not notice".
mircea_popescu: notably,
the us exists
today because some people shrugged at some point in
the 18th century.
BingoBoingo: Seriously shrugging is a passive
thing. Bouncing
the world and
the enemies attached
to it across
the hardwood would be noticed. Who
the fuck notices someone else shrugging. Shrug is uninteresting.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You are
the one who suggested Atlas "shrug". Shrug is different from Atlas
takes
the ball off his shoulder, dribbles it down
the court, and makes a
three point shot.
mircea_popescu: throughout
the 70s women never "seemed"
to suck
the cock in real life either.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:32 mircea_popescu: and
that something... doesn't have
to be a meteor strike. suppose one of
the
three changes sides and goes full republic. what
then.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> (incidentally why should usg be doing ~all~ of
the
thermo-journalism!?
time for free men
to do
their share..?) <<
this is quite so.
BingoBoingo: No,
the problem is
the fucking scabs who keep on

a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:26 mircea_popescu: i don't
think one
third of present "first world" folk would pass a rigorous sanity check as executed by 1916 mental health practitioners.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:20 mircea_popescu: hanbot you know, looking
through it... one
thing
that struck me about
the abundance of patently insane esl folk is,
this strange, rare (from a clinical pov)
tendency
to minutiously document
their whatevers.
BingoBoingo: none particularly close
to where I frequent
BingoBoingo: lol,
there are some of
those scattered around
this region
too
